entrelac-a-round

Inspired by the beautiful entrelac patterns, I've seen scattered all around, I've come up with this.

My first attempt at entrelac, and I'm knitting it in the round. I think it will be another bag, and maybe felted one. I suppose it will depend an whether or not I like it after it's finished and blocked.

Holiday shopping at the bookstore can be very bad, especially when distracted by knitting books.

So I got something for me. After all, there are still 27 more shopping days til Christmas...

That looks lovely, Eyeleen. It'll make a gorgeous bag! And I'd never have known it was your first attempt at entrelac either. I've been meaning to give that a go myself. You've inspired me. If there's one thing that I'm definitely casting on over the holidays, it's my first entrelac project!

Hi! Nice blog you've got here. Keep up the good work!

I noticed that you finished some gloves recently and had the gaping holes around the fingers. How did you fix that? I tried to add extra stitches in the pick up phase then pare down as I went around. That just seemed to with them up. Any advice?
